ATF Trace Data Refutes Hillary’s Reported Vermont Gun Claim
With a reported claim like that, and with the blame being placed on what “progressives” refer to as “lax gun laws,” a fact check is in order. And to do that, we can consult ATF’s firearms trace data report for New York... [More]As usual, she's lying. Again.
How You Can Help
I've been asked why I don't have a tip jar and take contributions. I never ask that for myself. Aside from not wanting to feel beholden or to see the same handful doing all the donating, it shouldn't be necessary. What I do ask is pretty simple, and hardly seems unfair:
IF (and only if) you get value from a piece and think others may as well, share the link. If you have a comment you'd like to make about my article, make it on the website where it appears instead of just under my announcement about it here. If you're on social media, "like" and especially "share" the link on Facebook or tweet/retweet it on Twitter.
Basically, if you come across something you think helps advance your interests, spend one minute letting others know about it -- because traffic is the only way those sites have to measure bang for the buck (and no, unlike with Examiner, I do not get page view compensation). If you want to go the extra minute, send column links to larger media outlets and urge them to check out the work.
I don't want your money. But if you're a regular here, you keep returning for a reason. I would appreciate if you let your friends and colleagues know why.
A Blank Slate?
[N]either of them tells us anything about Garland's views of the Second Amendment. [More]He needs hearings to do that?
Is there some law keeping him from being interviewed...? Forget future cases, he can't talk principles? Or is that "just not done"...?
Right, the guy is a Chi-Town Obama nominee and we're not supposed to make any assumptions based on a totality of circumstances.
Yes, Fletcher? You had something of relevance you wanted to express to Prof. Winkler?

No Surprise That Administration’s ‘Second Chance’ Excludes Gun Rights
"Tigers are vicious flesh eaters. This one had been vicious all of his life, and the first thing he would think of when he gets out of his cage is to tear some person to shreds." [More]Why let tigers out of cages if they're still dangerous? And if they're not, why rip out their teeth and claws?
Good Fences Make Good Neighbors?
In all seriousness, gunwriter friends David Codrea, Dave Workman, Kurt Hofmann, and maybe Howard Nemerov have, I believe, all written on how 'enterprising' folks have done much the same thing to exploit naive 'gun-buyback' programs here domestically. [More]The very first time I ever addressed the subject, actually:
Y'see, with no questions being asked, a new outlet for selling stolen property with impunity (and a new incentive for stealing it in the first place) has been created. And who's the fence? Why, the police, of course!It just seemed kind of obvious.

Foot Fetish
Shoes? What shoes? [More]
Actually, I think they're ridiculous.
No matter who accessorizes with them.

More Alike Than You Might Think
I got to see up close the mechanisms that allow people who celebrate homosexuals to find common cause with those who, when the law allows, happily sever their heads. [More]They both want the same thing -- it all. After the useful idiots have served their purpose, "There can only be one" will come into play.

And Now for Something Completely Different
Virtual reality 'sex suit' lets men experience realistic intercourse all on their own [More]Perverse. Pathetic. Sad. Lost.

Is No Space Safe Any More?
On Monday, students at Indiana University Bloomington mistook a priest for a Ku Klux Klan member, taking to social media to express their fear of the alleged Klansman, who they claimed was carrying a whip, and dressed in “white robes.” [More]But if you take appearance-based cautions, you're intolerant and racist.
Connect the Dots
"DAPA would deem over four million unlawfully present aliens as 'lawfully present' and eligible for work authorization," says the Texas brief. "And 'lawful presence' is an immigration classification established by Congress that is necessary for valuable benefits, such as Medicare and Social Security." [More]And here's an amicus curiae, initiated on the taxpayer's dime, by Bill de Blasio and Eric Garcetti (with a special guest appearance by Mike "Der" Feuer), and mayor/city groups that otherwise scream "Home Rule!" whenever its their ox getting gored. It "justifies" its case by citing skewed economics -- that is, economics that spread specialized "benefits" happy talk without factoring in total costs. And guess who the authority they cite to make their case is.
Yup, the Grover/Bloomberg Alliance.
But by all means -- listen to the "single issue" apologists and keep him on the board. After all, what could this possibly have to do with the Bylaws mandate "To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States [and] [t]o promote public safety, law and order, and the national defense…"?
Ain't that right, Ted?
It's all connected. Nobody thought Obama could "fundamentally transform America" all by his own self, did they?
